Sacha Berendji, Operations Director at M&S said: "Today we have launched a legal challenge against the government's decision to reject our Marble Arch store proposal.

We have done this because we believe the Secretary of State wrongly interpreted and applied planning policy, to justify his rejection of our scheme on grounds of heritage and environmental concerns.

It is hugely disappointing that after two years of support and approvals at every stage, we have been forced to take legal action to overcome a misguided agenda against our scheme, and we will be challenging this to the fullest extent possible."
